Yam vs Sweet Potatoe

JChandler — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:58:09 -0600

I was recently dining out, when I went to order the sweet potatoes fries I was promptly corrected, "we have yam fries." Now, I am not an expert and therefore really appreciate your post, now I can feel confident to stand my ground.

The sweet potatoe has become my new favourite food, I was never a potatoe lover but ate it anyway. I also don't like to cook but will happily pass along any recipies to my husband and maybe even try myself.

Thanks for the post. My mouth is watering and you have inspired me to get out my apron and that doesn't happen very often.

Those cinnamon rolls look DIVINE. Weekend breakfast in our home always involves eggs. My husband is in charge of breakfast- he usually makes friend or poached eggs with cajun spices, swiss cheese / fresh parmiggiano shavings. Or we have "Khagina" (My Recipe here), a Pakistani-Afghani scrambled egg dish with aromatic spices, tomatoes, onions, coriander. And there is always lots of bakery fresh walnut bread.

...for the recipe.

I'll try it for my next salad dressing and let you know. I've been looking for something like this.

Oh my!

Unheard of here.

But I can't move after I just spent a year getting my house perfect!

Sweet potato soup, yes!

That sounds great too!

Wow, lucky you!

I'd love to get a bushel of squash for $25. It's never cheaper than about $.99 a pound here, and that's rare for it to be that low!

Can't wait to try these!

OMG, these look incredible! I made a sweet potato soup a couple of weeks ago and can't wait to try these recipes, too :-)

Impossible to choose just one!

I've never met a squash soup I didn't love, so I'd hate to have to choose just one of these. Thanks for finding so many wonderful variations. There's a farm near me that sells more than 20 varieties of winter squash, at just $25 for as much as will fit in a bushel basket. I'll make sure to tuck some butternut squash into the mix.

Sounds good to me!

I'm not a fan of sweet combinations with squash, so the blend of leeks and thyme here sounds great to me!

Thanks for sharing!

I agree, curry with butternut squash is a perfect flavor combination!
